Our project as a group is to gather information that will help others to understand how to get a job. Here is how we will do this:
Step 1: With a partner gather information about two local businesses in walking distance of our school. Write down their names, address and numbers at the following page.
Step 2: Brainstorm with Central's Tech Group some thoughtful questions you could ask to find out how to get a job.
Step 3: Write a short introduction for yourself and your partner for when you arrive at the business. Step 4: Conduct your interviews and gather some application forms (if possible)
Step 5: Collaborate with the rest of the group to create a Wiki that others can learn from!
1. Finish your spreadsheet in gmail.
2. Look up and print application forms, gather all your information in one spot.
3. Send Thank you emails/cards
4. Build your own Resume and Cover Letter - Miss B's computer only
5. Pick a page to focus on creating for the 'How to get a job' Wiki
